I been busy painting some new signs to sell.  Love the soft blue backround.  I have 8 more outside drying, 4 blue and 4 a soft sagey green I mixed up.  And I have 4 skates basecoated hanging out side drying. 

I love this long skiny one with a family of snowmen decorating trees.

Working on prims

Yesterday and today have been wonderful, I have worked in my little studio making some fall prims and also some winter painted signs.  Love those snowmen!!

These little silly prim punkin guys are on sticks with grapevine twig stems and little curley curls.  Love their little faces!!  They are made from osnaburg that has been sewn, painted, stained and sanded for that perfect prim look.

A bunch all ready for market

A kids skate just about done, I need to antique it yet then add some *sparkly* glitter and red/white gingham laces with a few rusty bells. 

 The other side of the little skate.  I think it needs a battery candle light in it too.  Love the light blue backround!!

One of my signs I did up today, about 1/2 done. 

Another sign I started

And some finishing touches on the earlier sign.  Just need to add some more snowflakes, and antiquing and done. 

My little "Mr Boopie Woopie Boo" sitting pretty for mommy!!  such a cute pie.  He was sitting on the edge of Buster's bed

We're back from vacation

What a great vacation!!  We were at the South Haven Flywheelers for the 29th annual tractor show last week and had so much fun!! It was a record year in attendance and we sure couldnt have been happier or prouder to be a part of it!~!
The boys had fun with us too and I love that we can have them with us there to share our vacation it just wouldnt be the same without our furry kiddos with!!   Even "Mr Naughty Pants" was pretty well behaved and seemed to enjoy camping out.   We stayed a couple days after the show to help with the cleanup and tidy things up.  Sad to see it over but in a way excited to start on next years show!! It will the the 30th year and they are wanting to do big and new things!!  Got some ideas floating around in my head for that too!

Here are some pics of what my mom and I made for labor day week markets.

Berry Berry Lemon bundt cake

Cake after my mom put on my "farmgirl bling"

Red raspberry pistachio muffins

Breakfast bake   topped with my french bread

another berry berry lemon cake sliced

lavender shortbread cookies in oven

pineapple cake cups

tomato basil zucchini topped pizzas

baked potato gnocchi with tomato basil sauce

Plus we made lots of other things but I ran out of time and forgot to take pics of the rest.

We have alot going on the next couple of days a dear friend of ours wife passed away and my hubby's grandfather has to have another surgery too so we are gonna be busy.   Tonight I am heading to the kitchen to work on things for market on sat.  I have an idea for a crispy chocolatey choc chip cookie and also want to make some cranberry orange shortbread cookies, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread pudding and well maybe that is all I will get done today!  Tomorrow will be a full day too getting things done.

Hope yall have a wonderful day and I will be back soon to share some fall primitives I am working on for my friends shop in Glenn.  She does have a facebook page for the shop so if ya get a chance chick it out!!   Farmhouse Prim Antique is the name, she has great stuff and also has an online catalog too so she will ship things to ya!!
